Im working on a 98 talon non turbo 2.0L. Timing belt went out. Took it apart found out the tensioner pulley was not attached. The bolt where the hydraulic tensioner pushes up on the tensioner arm that pivots broke. Here is a picture.

If that`s a 420A Chrysler engine - I have run into this a few times. Go to a Chrysler dealer & buy the updated complete timing belt retrofit kit (new belt, tensioner, inner & outer covers, updated style tensioner assembly). This new style setup was devised to allieviate this exact problem . . . :talon:
